Dual Destinies spoilers, read at your own risk

Realistically I know that hindsight should make Bobby Fulbright's early-case appearances sadder or more sinister, but whenever I go back and watch those scenes it's so much funnier knowing that this overenthusiastic goober is a trained spy living under the looming threat of imprisonment or assassination if they don't fully commit to the bit.

Do we mourn the loss of OG Bobby? Yes, always. But seeing the Phantom put their whole (debatably unfeeling) chest into becoming a himbo is peak comedy to me. Life-or-death performance of their career, and the role is an overly earnest, easily distracted goofball who literally goes 👉👈 when people are mean to him.

They're onstage, under the spotlights, dancing for their survival, and the guy they're impersonating isn't even cool. Even if he is more of a person than they've ever had the chance to be, before.

It's even funnier in light of the fact that, for all the gravitas and imposing threat Blackquill ascribes to them, the Phantom is honestly kind of a mess in their own right, at least from HAT-1 onward? They have been trying for seven years to get rid of the evidence that they were stabbed in the hand by an eleven-year-old and that they have a flat affect in phone calls, and they've killed multiple people and blown up multiple buildings about it, and they just keep making more problems for themself. They are a failwife cosplaying a malewife while they desperately try to manipulate-mansplain-manslaughter their way out of impending death. 10/10, no notes.

I spy with my little eye-piece a free zine for all the Clay lovers out there! Welcome to my piece for the Infinity and Beyond: A Clay Terran Zine! Thank you to everyone at @clayspacezine for the opportunity to write something new for my favorite space nerd 💕🔭🌌 And a big thank you to all the other contributors, it was fun to work with all of you and hear all of the wonderful Clay headcanons that everyone has!

My piece is a little reunion between Clay and Simon, since I think they should have known each other at least a little bit pre- UR-1 incident. Simon should know about telescopes because I Said So LMAO Enjoy them and their awful inabilities to move on from the past/move into the future!

Everyone check out the zine itself and all the wonderful fic and artworks if you're curious what else the zine has to offer. It's delightful, I highly recommend!

!!!!!! BIG DUAL DESTINIES AA5 SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!!!!! SCROLL QUICKLY TO AVOID SPOILING YOURSELF IF NEEDED!!!!!!!!

UGHHGGGGGGHHH im watching someone play through the cosmic turnabout and like. during the first investigation they make a point to be like 'wooowww detective fulbright is being super cooporative its weirdddd like hes almost a different person. lmao.' and im SO MAD. its such a good setup for him being replaced but then theyre like. 'noooo hes been dead for like ten years or somwthign woahhhh what!!!!!!!!' LIKE. CHOOSING SHOCK VALUE OVER GOOD WRITING. If we've just been talking to the phantom the whole time what the fuck was that bit with the shoes during the monsterous turnabout???????? its either like. a. the phantom was worried about playing fulbright's character. like. for whom????? none of us knew what he was really like??? and it couldve easily gone unnoticed??????? or b. they really just fucking didnt notice. terrifying international superspy murderer. okay

"its to make sure that we know that this is definitely someone else!!" okay? edgeworth shows up and is like we found bobby fulbright in an abandoned warehouse or some shit and all dna and everything matches. woah that guy on the stand is definitely not detective fulbright. "its to show just how horrifying the phantom really is!!" okay???? so maybe they found him like tortured and ab/used and shit. and then its still really horrifying because we actually!!! know!!!!!!!!! fulbright!!!!!!!!!!! and how goofy and kind he is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow this guy is a really actively serious threat and a fucked up evil person. and now the player wants them dead for hurting this golden retriever of a man so badly. "but isnt it so fucked up that this great and super kind guy you've been talking to this entire game is actually dead??!?!?" yeah sure but once again we. dont. know. the real goddamn fulbright!!!!!!!! we dont know what he was actually like and the phantom couldve been portraying him completely differently!!!! sure a few lines of dialog tell us hes a good man. but other than that all we have to go off of is the phantom's act!!! people dont think about it that deeply and take the phantom's portrayal at face value but like?????? come on dude

and if you still want that sweet angst over him being dead, what if when they find him hes almost dead. like the phantom meant to actually kill him (because of how horrible they are!!!! its the same effect!!!!!!!) and it adds a new layer of tension during the trial after that because hes on death's door! is he gonna pull through??? will the phantom win in the sick twisted way of taking yet another life, but this time it's worse because we ACTUALLY. KNEW. HIM. and how good of a person he is??????? and its way more angst in the way of characters cause like Simon has someone actually close to him to potentially mourn! again! because of the phantom!

and if you still want the betrayal factor, i got that too! maybe the real fulbright was being threatened into being an informant for the phantom!!! or was even accidentally giving away information somehow, which still gives him consequences for the 'betrayal' while also being a 'fulbright being stupid' moment at the same time. just this time it's a whole lot worse because it put actual lives at stake and Clay got killed. boom! angst!!

My random AA headcanon is that Athena is really good at lip reading cuz the headphones (being a prototype) muted all sounds not just the sound of people's hearts and that ability came in quite handy when Juniper would lose her voice for a bit cuz of a cold or something and she could still understand what she was saying without Junie having to strain her voice

Blackbright save me... Save me phantomquill... Save me...

[that-sad-guy]

Dual Destinies: Ok so this is Bobby Fulbright. He's a silly detective who has a funny dynamic with the main prosecutor. Me: Oh neat! I love these types of characters! :)

Dual Destinies: Do you promise to love and cherish him? :)

Me: Haha yeah of course! :D

Dual Destinies: Well none of it was real.

Me: Dual Destinies: Surprise :)

[pcktknife]

isnt his best friend in space clay terran who died like. first game

I swear to god if apollo mentioned he had a dead friend in aa4.... as far as I remember clay showed up in aa5 with a kind of random apollo childhood friend plot and also died in that game and wasn't mentioned in 4

[blackquillchillin]

I love the sims so much.

I'm playing clay Terran right now, so i can kill him and hurt Apollo later, and the man wanted to flirt with Morgan Fay, so i let him, and she's reciprocating?!?!?

Anyway i need a new ship name.

[ask-the-attorneys]

Phoenix, do you remember that time you called Mr Edgeworth daddy in court? It was recorded, so you're aware.

//im not even bullshitting

//LMAO I KNOW THAT WAS THE FIRST CLIP I SAW OF AA5

[twistedsamuraiadvice]

I gave Metis Cykes an oversized blunt, sorry if she codes more robots to be homocidal.

I am unconcerned. Aura was the more homicidal of the two, and she has chilled slightly.

Does that mean you should have done so? Nay. Will there be death wrought? Not likely.

Disappointed,

-Simon Blackquill

[turnaboutstar]

usually they do it the other way around with prosecutors who have committed murder but with blackquill it's different the game being upfront immediately with the fact hes in prison and has killed someone makes me kinda think maybe a plot twist will happen not sure haven't finished the game yet but kinda suspicious about that atm
